Rarely when I call about news on an endorsement, do I hear about an enthusiastic unanimous endorsement. Yet that is exactly what I heard from a group of people on east side of St Paul who endorsed Matt Bostrom for Ramsey County Sheriff. Not only is there a group endorsement, but each member also added a personal individual endorsement. The Eastside PAC committee is called PROGRESSPPAC, an acronym...

Now that Pfizer agreed to pay $2.3 billion for illegally marketing several drugs, including Bextra, Zyvox, Geodon and Lyrica, over several years, one Congresswoman wants to punish stop such behavior - at least among those that do business with the federal government (background is here). And so Betty McCollum, a Democrat from Minnesota, has introduced a [...]

Has your congress member committed to voting No on all war money, to cosponsoring Jim McGovern's bill for an exit plan, to cosponsoring Betty McCollum's bill to defund criminal government contractors, and to cosponsor Barbara Lee's bill to block funding for an escalation?

As HuffPost's Ryan Grim wrote , "In other words, the bill could plausibly...

Of course we have to use this to build a list of House members committed to voting No on funding bills. The House alone can block funding by voting No. Passing a bill does no good without the Senate and the President...

Mind you, I'm unfamiliar with any actual felonies that ACORN has actually committed. But Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) is proposing that corporations found guilty of having committed a felony be ineligible for government contracts for 5 years and that coporate felons should be disallowed from making political donations for the same amount of time. Sounds good [...]
In what might be the boldest move yet by a Progressive [That means lefty liberal on the verge of socialist/marxist] Democrat defending the group ACORN, Minnesota Democrat Congresswoman Betty McCollum is mocking attempts to investigate the group with about as many legal woes as the Vikings after a Minnetonka “boat cruise”. Representative McCollum should be ashamed [...]
